Jahath goes to Zul'Gurub to get one outstanding pet and mount. I can't remember how to do a lot of the specific things you have to do for two or three of the encounters, so there is a bunch of puttering around aimlessly 'til I straighten things out. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

As the title says, just a quick run with Jahath in Karazhan to try to get the Fiery Warhorse from Attumen. No luck as yet. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

As the title says, this is my character Huracan doing more pet dailies. I've gotta find something more to do. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

In which Huracan returns to Karazhan and tries bypassing the chess game like Stygianskies did, and continues on to get the final pet from Prince Malchezaar, the Netherspace Abyssal. Then Huracan does some more pet dailies and the quests to start Lion's Watch in Tanaan. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

I fail to get past the chess game once again on Huracan and switch to Stygianskies to do it, whereupon I receive the much coveted Lil' Bad Wolf I have sought for... years, Kyle. Years. Unfortunately, defeating Prince Malchezaar was less fruitful. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

I ran into still more trouble with the chess game. I think I somehow glitched it during my first attempt. Now, even if I annihilate everything in there, it won't seem to register and, when I get to Prince Malchezaar, I'm silenced because the game still thinks the chess session is in play. Poodles. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

Doing a run through old Karazhan for Lil' Bad Wolf and Netherspace Abyssal, both of which I've been trying to get for a very long time. Had to stop during chess part to take care of children. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

My little boy made me wake up in the middle of the night and I never managed to get any sleep after that. As it is now daytime and we are officially up, I decided to hop on and do another quick pet battle or two. Honestly, although I just did it, I'm so tired I can barely remember what I actually do in this video. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

This is more of my first day back and more pet battles and minor stuff like that. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

I just returned to World of WarCraft for the first time in about six months and everything is so different, I keep forgetting where I'm supposed to be. I mostly do some daily pet battles here. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

This is just a quick video of a look at my two attempts to make our family's house in The Sims 3 while I am waiting for World of WarCraft to update. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

I made this about ten years ago and have uploaded it previously under one of my various other aliases. I figured I would add it to this channel, too. It is a silly mash-up of World of WarCraft characters based on Mayan gods and various Mayan images to Ayreon's "Temple of the Cat".

I forgot all about this. I made it a couple of years ago. I had a dream once about Patrick Swayze and Christopher Reeve, for some reason, and woke up feeling very sad that they were dead and I went and made this. I know that's a weird story... Anyway, as mentioned before, I have a hard time understanding all of the nuances of what's allowed and what isn't, which is why I haven't uploaded sooner. One of the reasons I'm doing so now is because my hard drives keep getting destroyed (most of the things I've had going back twenty years were on an external one my son smashed) and I will probably lose them sooner or later. Also, I think it would be nice to make them available to others that want them. I know I've made others, but I just can't think of them all right now. Well, hope you like. R.I.P. Patrick Swayze

I decided to start working on a new Sim, a male, based on a real person. I streamed it on Twitch three days ago. Can you guess who it is? There are a couple of clues between this description and the video, itself. I will work on it some more in future. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

I came back and tried to set my Sim to the fire acrobat outfit I made for her last time under the active wear category, but it had changed to some big, bulky nomadic tundra wanderer's outfit. Therefore, I had to default to the pink bathing suit this Sim was wearing back when I was making the first one from the "Starting Over" series and had not decided what I was doing with her yet. She had a lot of pink coloring to her at first, before I started to incorporate much in the way of mods. I had this bathing suit on her in pink and some faerie wings on her, for a time. She still had the pink outfit in tact, so I just used the swatch I'd saved from the red acrobat outfit I lost and applied that to it to retain some idea of what the coloring I was now working on for her face should look like with her outfit. I went with different items than last time and went through some other types of hair, too. I forgot that I would want her facial structure to be the same as my doll that I am using to make the real thing out of, though, so I will have to go back to tweaking her face some more, too, before I'm done. I almost never feel done with a Sim or a house, unfortunately. So, next time, shaping her face some more to look like my dolly. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

It's a shame you can't choose a career outfit right off with CaS upon first creating your Sim in cases like this. I messed around with creating her acrobat outfit in the athletic section with the clothing filters disabled so that I could choose anything to work with. I tend to do a lot of really intensive tweaking with every aspect of creating a Sim, possibly to a fault. I actually have a habit of only making Sims one after another and never actually playing the game at all. Sometimes I work on houses, but I rarely ever play them. For that matter, I should also say that I have no problem with using cheats in a game like The Sims. Everyone's reasons for playing it are different, so sometimes it just facilitates what you want from the game. I like customization and making my world the way it would be if I could control real life that way. I don't see any reason for anyone else to care whether I use cheats to achieve that, especially when things like money cheats are part of The Sims, to begin with. Also, if I want to create a character from a television show, I find it stupid to have to have her work to earn a few hundred simoleons a day to save up enough to buy the house she already lives in on the show, build up the relationships she already has and possibly have a lifetime history along the way that has nothing to do with where we find her when we meet her on said show. There are several more reasons why people shouldn't be uptight about other people's use of cheats in games like The Sims. What if I know a family I want to create in the game, their house is a certain size, has certain furniture and the family has a certain amount of money? Then I would possibly have to use building cheats, as well as money cheats and other things, such as those for placing objects where they normally won't go--again, all of which are coded into game, itself. Oh, and say you want to make a family of children or a family of ten? Cheats. What if it's just not accurate otherwise? Don't dis my need to use cheats! -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

Now that I have established that I am making this Sim a fire-themed acrobat, I am starting a new series of it. In all Sims games and just about anything else that involves extensive customization and being able to create more than one character, I tend to create and often start with acrobats I dreamed up some years ago that represent the four elements: fire, air, water and earth. I have made them in The Sims 3 many times, but no longer have any of the Sims or any other Sims files I used to work with, including anything I've ever made. I actually started a fire Sim in The Sims 4 when I tried going back to it again just recently, but I even lost her already, too. In any case, my idea came about during my first pregnancy, when I decided I really wanted to take four dolls and customize them in this manner, whereupon I would hang them from miniature aerial apparatus from the ceiling for my children to look at. I hate to say that it has been several years and I haven't managed to make a lot of progress in that regard, but am still working on it and have accumulated a fair number of materials and all of the doll parts I need, so I will be making videos in the future of where I am going with that, too. I also have a bunch of concept art that I've done. Earth and fire still need work, but my drawings of air and water are pretty much spot-on in terms of my vision. I've been having difficulty to get the other two to come out right and have made multiple attempts at each one. As for this Sim, I start off with golden eyes and try out a bunch of types of hair and work out the hair color. Then I am adjusting the sliders more. Next I am trying to find the right cosmetics for how I've always imagined her to look. You may notice I put a pinkish tinge in a lot of the reds, to create a bit more intense spectrum of colors for my fire motif. Anyway, that's about that for now. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

Here, again, I am working on the same Sim from before and still more sliders. I think that, last time, I couldn't get some of the ones I had to do anything because I'd forgotten to install one of the core mods that allow for more sliders. You can also see here that I am also using the numeric values on the sliders that come with one of the aforementioned mods offered by the community. I find using the adjustable sliders with numbers much easier to work with than The Sims 4 method. By now, I am pretty sure I am taking her in the same direction I usually go when customizing a character. I'll explain that in the next segment. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth

Here I have downloaded a bunch of custom sliders and stuff and am working on the same test Sim again to see what more I can do with them. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/strangersonearth
